Forte injured the ankle in the Bears' game against the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night in Week 2, when he was rolled up from behind after breaking to the outside on the Packers defense.

His injury puts Bush back in the spotlight, where he performed well last season for the Oakland Raiders in a similar situation. Starter Darren McFadden went down with an injury, and Bush stepped in to the tune of 242 total yards and a touchdown in his first game as the starter.

That kind of production won't be as likely in Chicago, as the Bears like to spread the ball in the air more than Oakland was able to. However, he'll be the recipient of almost all the carries, will likely see time in the passing game and promises to have a game filled with meaningful touches.

It's not as if Bush has been a fantasy dud so far in 2012. He rushed for two touchdowns in limited action in Week 1, and then was able to rush for 54 yards when Forte went down with injury even though the Bears were playing from behind in the second half.

Against the Rams, who've given up big days to both Kevin Smith and Alfred Morris in the passing game, Bush should have another great day.

For the Bears, they will miss their starting RB against St. Louis. However, Bush is more than capable of picking up the slack on the field and on your fantasy team this week. Allow him to turn this injury into a positive going forward, at least until Forte is back in action.
